Apple Bloody Splatter Cocktail

This is a variation on Todd Thrasher's "Dexter"-inspired cocktail, this time with a fresh apple base. For the apple juice base, use unfiltered apple juice or cider from the refrigerated section of the store.

Note: the cocktail is spattered with a rhubarb syrup. I bought mine in a specialty store, but the syrup is easy to make at home if so desired.) Drip the syrup along the rim of the glass for a bloody effect suitable for Halloween. You can also drizzle with pomegranate molasses if preferred.
